I just came across Upcoming.org, which is "a collaborative event calendar,
completely driven by people like you. Enter in the events you're attending,
comment on events entered by others, and syndicate event listings to your
own weblog. As Upcoming.org learns more about the events you enjoy, it will
suggest new events you never would have heard about."
I don't know about the learning side of it, but one thing that's definitely
of relevance to us is that they offer RSS feeds of calendar events for
different cities. Here's their page about London:
http://upcoming.org/metro/uk/london/london/
I think if I can hack together some kind of aggregator plugin, this could be
a great thing to include with the guides to provide extra depth (and
an incentive to keep coming back).

I smell slashboxes. Not that this is necessarily a bad smell.

Well, I was thinking of something else - I was talking to Andy Baio - the
guy whose site it was - on IRC, and asked him if he could implement
per-venue feeds, which he said should be possible. So, my plan is, I write
the plugin, then you can do something like this on a given page representing
a venue:
@RSS_FEED [http://example.com/syndicate/venue/50] *
Which produces output something like:
Upcoming.org: Events at the Shepherds Bush Empire
- Sat Nov 22: [music] The Cooper Temple Clause
- Sun Nov 23: [music] Bob Dylan
- Tue Nov 25: [music] Blondie
- Wed Dec 03: [music] Michael Franti & Spearhead
- Fri Dec 05: [music] Inspiral Carpets
And all of those would link through to the event listings.
* Example.com because this URL doesn't exist yet.
